PRIOR ART A type according to the prior art part of claim 1, in which the response threshold is the magnetically supported inclination of a trapezoidal object to the acceleration acting on the running surface of the vehicle. Circuit arrangements with inertia-determined inertia switches are already known (German Patent Publication no. 2706962;
No. 2937040). After this tilting inertia has been overcome, when the object tilts, the electrical switch closes and directly drives the circuit arrangement with the self-holding circuit and switches on the vehicle's warning flash device.

This device may be blocked by obstacles (other vehicles, guide rails, etc.)
In addition to the case of a collision with a vehicle, the alarm flash device must be switched on automatically in the case of emergency braking, so that the object can be deflected from its resting position even when the object is decelerated (due to braking) and not due to a collision. , the tilt inertia of the object must be kept relatively small.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention It is an object of the present invention to provide a device according to the prior art part of claim 1 without delay at high acceleration values of a collision, but when the deceleration or acceleration of the vehicle When the alarm is low, the alarm flasher is switched on automatically with a time delay depending on its duration of action, and after each automatic switch on, it is switched on manually by the alarm flasher switch or the ignition switch.

By connecting an inertial switch with a high response threshold in parallel and an acceleration sensor with a low response threshold, the device's sensors are first divided, thereby allowing high acceleration (crash) and low acceleration (full braking,
(emergency braking) can be reliably detected and distinguished. A significant advantage of the device of the invention is that by connecting the integrator circuit and the threshold switch after the output of the acceleration sensor, the pulsed signal of the acceleration sensor is filtered out when the cancellation time constant of the integrator circuit is small; For example, during emergency braking or skidding, the long-standing signal of the acceleration sensor is transferred to the output signal of the integrator circuit, which is finally passed through the threshold switch.

One contact of the changeover switch is connected to terminal KL15, and the other contact is connected to terminal KL30. Between these two connections the connecting bridge of the changeover switch 6 can be switched to and fro, so that when the on-off switch 5 is open, i.e. when the alarm flasher device is switched off, it is connected to terminal KL15 and the on-off switch is switched off. When 5 is closed, it is connected to terminal KL30. A line reaches the flash generator 7 from the fixed contact of the changeover switch 6,

A line from the output of the flash generator 7 reaches the forward direction switch 3. This line has a branch that reaches the second switch 9.2 of the relay 9 and the on/off switch 5 of the alarm flasher switch 4. Both switches 9.2 and 5 are connected in parallel and connected to flashers 8R and 8 through diodes 17, respectively.

Diode 17 is also provided only to simplify the switching system. In order to avoid unnecessary voltage drops before the slashers, switches 9.2, 5 are each provided with two parallel switch contacts. These have a common input connection, but are connected by separate output connections to the flashers 8R or 8L, so that they can commonly switch on the alarm flashers, but only when switches 9.2, 5 are opened. Intentional turn signals are electrically separated and do not turn on at the same time.

The circuit arrangement 12 consists of an acceleration sensor 13 of at least a low response threshold (approximately 0.5 to 0.8 G), an integration circuit 14 and a threshold switch 15 connected in series. By means of the adjustable resistor 16, the reference value of the threshold switch 15 can control the integral value required for the connection and thus the required response time of the acceleration sensor 13. Inertial switch 11 is provided for a high response threshold (approximately 4G). The circuit device 12 is connected in parallel with the inertia switch 11, and the output of the inertia switch 11 and the output of the threshold switch 15 are connected to an OR circuit 18.

If the road surface is uneven, high acceleration cannot be applied to the vehicle, so the inertia switch 11
does not respond to acceleration. However, since the sensitive acceleration sensor 13 has already responded at this time, an output signal is given to the integrating circuit 14. Integrating circuit 14
can preferably be constituted by an RC circuit in which the charging time constant is larger than the discharging or extinction time constant. Therefore, for example, when traveling over an uneven road surface, the pulsed output signal of the acceleration sensor 13 is used to cause the threshold switch 15 to conduct, since the capacitor quickly discharges again through a relatively small discharge resistance. This is not enough to charge the integrating circuit 14.

On the other hand, when the vehicle is suddenly braked in an emergency situation, the acceleration sensor 13 provides a stop voltage signal to the integrating circuit 14. Integrator circuit 14 is thereby charged until finally the reference value of threshold switch 15 is achieved and it becomes conductive. Then, the relay 9 is controlled via the OR circuit 18 in the same manner as when the inertia switch 11 is closed, and is self-held to switch on the alarm flash device.

In order to switch off the alarm flash device switched on by the switch 9.2 of the relay, the self-holding circuit 10 opens the ignition switch 2 or switches the transfer switch 6 in the alarm flasher switch 4. Therefore, it can be placed in a position not shown. In the latter case, the contact arm of changeover switch 6 is connected to terminal KL15 during the changeover operation.
Since it switches from to terminal KL30 without overlapping,
No voltage is applied for a short time. Therefore, the changeover switch 6 can only be operated in common with the alarm flasher opening/closing switch 5, so that the alarm flasher can be manually switched on at the same time. However, the alarm flasher device is finally switched off by operating the alarm flasher switch 4 again which has been switched on and locked.

In addition to a part of the circuit diagram of FIG. 1, FIG. 2 also shows a brake signal generator 21 and a brake light 22. The output signal of the braking signal generator 21 and the output signal of the threshold switch 15 are logically combined in an AND circuit 19. Its output is applied to the input of an OR circuit 18 in parallel with the output of the inertia switch 11.

This device works as follows. The integrating circuit 14 inputs the AND circuit 1 only when the output signal of the acceleration sensor 13 and the output signal of the braking signal generator 21 are simultaneously present at the input of the AND circuit 19'.
9' output is provided. However, after a vehicle equipped with the above-mentioned device overturns and lands on its roof, the roof position contact 20 closes, causing the inertial switch 11 to fail to respond and the acceleration sensor to respond only for a short period of time. An emergency signal is automatically generated.

Although the inertial switch 11 and the acceleration sensor 13 are shown as different here, if the respective response thresholds can be set to 4G and 0.5 to 0.8G, they should have the same structure in principle. be able to. Since such acceleration switches are generally known, their structure will not be described in detail here. The 4G and 0.5-0.8G response thresholds above are approximations.

Particularly when the response threshold of the acceleration sensor 13 is low, obviously, for example when descending a very steep slope, a sufficient interval between possible responses and at the same time braking must be maintained. The low threshold of 0.5G means that when the fulcrum of the string pendulum is accelerated horizontally at the above value, the pendulum is approximately
This corresponds to a tilt of 26.5°. The slope of this pendulum is 50
